Clojerl is really cool, and you should play with it; it's actually surprising how well the semantics transfer over to the Erlang VM.
If anyone wants something that feels a bit more vanilla-erlang-ish, one should also check out Lisp Flavoured Erlang. It is almost a direct one-to-one translation of Erlang into Lisp-land (actually made by one of Erlang's co-creators), but also provides Common-Lisp-Style macros, and a much more consistent, cleaner syntax than vanilla Erlang.

Links to your references for the lazy:

It doesn't look like the LFE project on github received many commits recently. Is this a sign of maturity or abandonment?
Virding is pretty active on Slack on the LFE channel (at least he was the last time I was on there a few months ago); I don't think it's abandoned.
that was insightful, thank you
